hi, can we do this for maybe just one dialog on a test branch, say
repo-browser or log dialog and I and other Persian or Arabic users can
give feedback on the result. can you elaborate on how much effort this
would require. if you can give pointers as to how to implement i could
even do some patches.
thanks
mohsen
